3/15: Waterlogged digicam takes "magic pictures"

Undertoad · 03-15-2002, 01:25 PM

What if you had a camera that could take surreal photos? That's what Mr. Farrell Eaves has.

He was in New Mexico attending a seminar on photography when his Nikon CoolPix 990 fell into the Pecos river. He used various means to dry it out, including tying it to the windshield of his car. When it was fully dry, he found that it worked exactly like normal... except that the photos it cranked out were strange and unusual. They had auras, strange lines, shimmering colors.

A story on the whole thing was published here and more images can be seen at the website of the photographer who held that seminar (click on "Mr. Eaves and his Magic Camera").
